Kit is a very sick little girl

Somehow when building our barn, we stirred the bacteria and she caught it.

That is the only thing we can think of where she contracted the crud.

Strangles is a nasty, nasty bacterial infection that causes the lymph glands to swell

and abscess and break open.

I don't feel very good

The Vet is coming out today to see if we can get it lanced to see if we can drain it to reduce the swelling. If that doesn’t work, we have to take her to the hospital for a tracheotomy. Please pray that we are able to reduce it by lancing since it is real close to opening.

I’ll post an update on Kit and a Happenings at the Ranch tonight.

I also have a giveaway coming up so stay tuned!
